Quickstrike looks a bit boxy in his beast mode, but I'm thrilled they're making a new figure of him. Big Convoy looks amazing, great update for the character. Amalgamous Prime... Didn't know how they'd do this character, and it surprisingly lives up to the name. Quintus Prime, bit disappointed with.

Re: Age of the Primes
First look at Liege Maximo and Nexus Prime
Liege Maximo is based on his first appearance in Marvel comics. That's a design that I think would be very difficult to translate into a transforming figure... and it shows. But I appreciate that they took the effort to make this design, rather than the more Loki inspired design in more recent media.
Nexus Prime appears to be based on his Transformers One design. I gather from the speculation I've seen, he may be compatible with the combiner frame the most recent Silverbolt and Motor Master came with... If true, I guess that's something, but it's very disappointing this iteration of Nexus Prime doesn't come with his own means to form a gestalt, especially as the Transformer meant to represent the first combiner. I guess they aren't making any figures to be specifically his limbs either. Which, to me, Nexus Prime should be the gestalt form, like Superion, Menasor, Devastator and so on, not one of the individual component bots.
Edit: Nexus Prime's combiner torso form confirmed. The design of which is based on the Aligned continuity. I like that they were able to incorporate two different designs for the character into one figure. But still... Very disappointing the figure doesn't come with his own combiner frame. Dunno if Hasbro has any plans to give him his own team for the limbs, but I'd doubt it at this point.
